Recap from Scranton

So far, my party is more exciting than this game. So far, the only scoring was on a Paul Hoover RBI double in the 4th. It’s 1-0 Pigs.

First, a correction. Tonight’s starting pitcher was Romulo Sanchez, not Kei Igawa as listed. Kei is sitting with us again tonight. Zack Kroenke is in in the 6th. In the top of the 6th a pass ball came back to haunt SWB. After Terry Tiffee singled, he went to 2nd on the pass ball, moved to third on a gorundout, and scored on Paul Hoover’s sac fly to make it 2-0. In the 7th, a throwing error by Kevin Russo set up a two run inning for the Pigs. Terry Tiffee and John Mayberry had RBI singles. 4-0 Pigs. This has been a sloppy game for SWB.

Sloppy play did SWB in tonight, as the pass ball and throwing error opened all the scoring for the Pigs. Damaso Marte got in the game, and pitched a scoreless inning as did Kevin Whelan. The Yanks are on the road after tonight and return on the 18th against these same Iron Pigs.
